Provides general information about using Oracle Enterprise Repository. The Oracle Enterprise Repository Home page can be customized to highlight your
companys news and policies. This page includes embedded features that display information about new additions to the repository, the most frequently used assets,
and a list of users who have achieved the highest levels of asset reuse. As an alternative, your company can substitute its own home page. In addition, you can
create different Home pages that can be displayed based on the user’s role. In this way, Business Analysts can see a different set of information than Architects or
Development resources. Think of this page as a configurable portal that allows your organization to promote initiatives to all Oracle Enterprise Repository users.
